EPFL Researchers Develop Nanoscale Marine Energy Devices
5 min read
EPFL researchers published two studies in February 2026 and 2024 detailing nanoscale devices for marine energy. One team created hafnium oxide nanopores with lipid biofilms achieving 15 watts/m² power density. Another group developed a silicon nanodevice using evaporation to generate five times more energy than previous systems by harnessing the hydrovoltaic effect.
